The True Impact of Y2K Reveals Itself!

[paulcs]

Nine months after the "end of the world," a sizable spike in the SF Bay Area birth rate has been reported. Apparently, this is a nationwide phenomenom. It appears Americans decided to stay in and go out with a bang.

it would appear from your statement that much "spiking" was also done at start of year. LOL

[Jake]

Geez!

*JOKE ALERT*

I your case we call it "Needlepoint" not spiking!

Down boy!

It was a bad time of year to be an IT manager...

I have to dissagree with that statement SteveC. Most IS/IT professionals are paid salary positions. So all the overtime to make sure nothing went "kaplooey" was not paid for. My company had the plant shut down but I and the rest of the IT crew were in all that week doing last minute testing.

And to think, you could of been makin' babies. On reflection, you were probably better off at work.

Well I know what I was doing then...

[ahartman]

I'm with Dil. I'm salaried. Actually, though, we got a few extra vacation days this year for working the weekend. Glad to see my company gave us more than a smile for our efforts.

I bought a 13" TV w/VCR and watched movies the entire weekend...

Gee, Im glad Im not on a salary. I earnt more in the 6 months around Y2k than I would in 2.5 years if I took the salary offer I was offered!

Got to love $240 an hour consultant fees

I don't mean to brag, but I think the best way is the way my company does it. Salary + Overtime. If you don't work overtime, fine. If you do, submit a form, get bags of money.
